Monday, June 6th .... Today we rode 107 miles! This is the second longest ride I have ever done! I was very concerned about today's ride as yesterday's ride was 77 miles and it was very difficult for me. I really struggled to get it done. This morning I ate a good high carb breakfast and after an hour I felt much stronger than yesterday. The it was a beautiful ride and the hills diminished as we got into flatter terrain closer to the center of the state. It is hard to believe we have completed day 32 of the trip. Time is flying by! I miss Cecilia and home, but this has been a real experience and one that at my age (76) most people would not even try.
Wednesday, May 18th .... I finished the day early! I left the hotel at 7:00 a.m. this morning and was at the next hotel in Grants by 12:30 p.m. I had my first flat tire but also had the help of two other riders in repairing it. My average speed was down a bit as the last six miles I just slowed down to see the sights of Grants. Generally, an easy ride!
